Pharmacy context
This is a community pharmacy located on a high-street. It is situated in the village of Longton, south-west of Preston city centre. The pharmacy dispenses NHS prescriptions, private prescriptions and sells over-the-counter medicines. It also provides a range of services including seasonal flu vaccinations, a minor ailment service and emergency hormonal contraception. A number of people receive their medicines in multi-compartment compliance aids. The pharmacy had changed ownership about 3 months ago.
Standards by principle
Principle 1 – Governance
Standards met
The pharmacy team follows written procedures, and this helps to maintain the safety and effectiveness of the pharmacy’s services. The pharmacy keeps the records it needs to by law. And members of the team are given training so that they know how to keep private information safe. But they do not always record things that go wrong, so they may miss some learning opportunities.
Principle 2 – Staff
Standards met
There are enough staff to manage the pharmacy's workload and they are appropriately trained for the jobs they do. Members of the pharmacy team complete some additional training to help them keep their knowledge up to date.
Principle 3 – Premises
Standards met
The pharmacy premises are suitable for the services provided. A consultation room is available to enable private conversations.
Principle 4 – Services
Standards met
The pharmacy's services are easy to access, and they are generally well managed. But the pharmacy team does not always know when people are receiving higher-risk medicines. So it might not always check that the medicines are still suitable, or give people advice about taking them. The pharmacy team carries out some checks to make sure medicines are in good condition. But it does not always keep records, so it can't show that the checks have been done properly.
Principle 5 – Equipment
Standards met
Members of the pharmacy team have access to the equipment they need for the services they provide. And they maintain the equipment so that it is safe to use.
